I am what is called a meta-textual reader — I just read the book I am reading, I read every single thing that is associated with it and then continue outwards and ever outwards from there. So a fair while back now I found this story called Lazarus Churchyard and through that discovered this guy [...]

Ellis once again working to confound the tendency that people have to pigeonhole characters or jump to conclusions about what sort of person they are or the role that they fulfill. Today we see that far from being the flighty delicate creature that some have mistaken her for, after her display of strength last week, [...]

Have I anywhere publicly expressed my loathing for Star Wars? I am not sure that I have. I feel the urge to do so now. Why? Because my children have the Star Wars Lego computer game and the sound of R2D2 screaming like he is being introduced to twelve inches of wookie meat is driving [...]

Having been a part of Warren Ellis’s Whitechapel community since it’s launch I and others have been privileged to get an insight into the research that went into this story; the thoughtful way in which every aspect of [...]

This week’s episode, which I am reporting on late thanks to various computer issues, was beautiful. The art work in this series as a whole has been beautiful and it is as much for the ideas that drive the artwork as the artwork itself. But sometimes, as with this week, it is beautiful in the [...]

I usually start with a pre-amble of how I came to discover the band in question but I am fucked if I can remember how I discovered The The, suffice to say that I am glad I did. The above album is the dog’s bollocks and the perfect distillation of what they are capable of.
